NODE#2 : Training Workshop, Washington DC, November 14, 2014

www.thevirtualbrain.org/node2

 
In this workshop we will explain the fundamental principles of full brain network modelling using the open source neuroinformatics platform The Virtual Brain (TVB). This simulation environment enables the biologically realistic modelling of network dynamics using Connectome-based approaches across different brain scales. Configurable brain network models generate macroscopic neuroimaging signals including functional MRI (fMRI), intracranial and stereotactic EEG, surface EEG and MEG for single subjects. Researchers from different backgrounds can benefit from an integrative software platform including a supporting framework for data management (generation, organization, storage, integration and sharing) and a simulation core written in Python.  The architecture of TVB supports interaction with MATLAB packages, for example, the well-known Brain Connectivity Toolbox.

Workshop Goals: to create a conceptual and technical understanding of the various network modelling approaches in TVB; familiarization with TVB graphical user interface, Python and Matlab programming environment and data formats.

Workshop Format:  lectures and hands-on tutorials - space is limited*
